I loved the animated movie, but this is larger than life! The production has more animatronics than any other production in history! Check out the amazing dragon creations, lock your sights on Toothless, and bring him to me.
Our friend’s Lindsey and Matt are HUGE EOU fans! On any given day you’ll spot either of them rocking some super cool threads from the shop in their own way- Matt will have his sleeves rolled up showing off his tattoos, and Lindsey, well, in whatever she’s wearing, will look effortlessly smoking hot!
Lindsey is a mom, but this isn’t about that. It’s about her mom. Lindsey told us that her mom does little for herself, has a bigger heart for others, and always gives more than she gets for herself, so when the BLDHN contest came up, of course, Lindsey nominated her!
Please vote for Lindsey’s mom so she can win at $250 gift card! All of which, Lindsey insured, would be spent on herself!
Look how pretty/hot/amazing Lindsey’s mom in all her 70′s hotness!

“Everything I know about beauty, I learned from her. Everything I know about boys, I learned from him. Everything I know about love, I learned from them.”
XOXO!
All of my friends and coworkers know that I am loving HBO’s new show, GIRLS. The Hollywood Reporter‘s Tim Goodman called the show “one of the most original, spot-on, no-missed-steps series in recent memory.”
I couldn’t agree more. The show is real. The situations may not be the same (having your parents pay your rent, living in luxurious NYC apartments) but the struggles are the same. The identification of self, the bartering of doing what you want to do versus what you need to do, the struggle to maintain friends and relationships through difficult and changing times.
However, if you’ve read anything media-related you realize that Lena is taking a beating for her show. Shortly after her work was praised, the backlash hit- saying the show ”is narcissistic, lacks racial diversity and showcases whiny, privileged millennials complaining about topics only relevant to whiny, privileged millennials.”
Everyone gets criticized. When you’re doing something good, something on your own, or something new, you’re going to be attacked. And Lena recently talked with Fresh Air on NPR and I have to say, her rebuttals were poised and perfect and just as direct as her quick witted responses seen on GIRLS.
Check it out: Lena Dunham Addresses Criticism Aimed at Girls.
On her tattoos:
“people who I am naked near are seeing these artifacts of who I once was, and maybe getting a clearer sense of who I am.”
On the criticism of GIRLS:
“… I think the liberal-arts student in me really wants to engage in a dialogue about it, but as I learn about engaging with the media, I realize it’s not the same as sitting in a seminar talking things through at Oberlin. Every quote is sort of used and misused and placed and misplaced, and I really wanted to make sure I spoke sensitively to this issue. …”
Read the full article and watch the show, and let me know your thoughts!
